Comprehensive Exam: In-person

Level: Graduate

This course is a graduation requirement for SSP students and is open only to those eligible to take the comprehensive exam. This course, including the comprehensive exam information session, workshops, and exam itself will be held on select Fridays throughout the semester. For specific dates this semester, students should refer to the SSP Student Calendar or Student Resources page in Canvas or contact their academic advisor. For the exam, students will have three hours to complete one essay question, typed, with a limit of 1,500 words. Students may choose to answer any one question from a series of several concentration-focused questions. There will be at least two questions for each SSP concentration offered, but students do not have to choose a question pertaining to their own concentration. Parenthetical citations (author, year) will suffice in this format. Students will take this exam in person and are not permitted to use books, notes, or any other materials.
